Scotland were within minutes of picking up their second point of Euro 2024.

However, a late goal from Kevin Csoboth broke their hearts - with Steve Clarke's side now out of the competition.

And Scotland legend James McFadden has claimed his country 'went out with a bit of a whimper', despite putting up a strong fight.

"Scotland had to go and win the game. Two points wasn't likely to be enough. It's a big night of disappointment," he said.

"Could they have had a go earlier? I was waiting for Hungary to kick into life, it just wasn't a pretty game.

"Scotland are out with a bit of a whimper in the end."

Former Scotland women's player Leanne Crichton believes Clarke made his changes too late, with his team then paying the ultimate price.

"The changes should have been made earlier," she fumed.

"In world football virtually every manager makes a change on the 60 minute mark whether things are going for you or against you. It was a game Scotland needed to win.

"I don't mean to discredit him, but Shankland carried a threat when he came on.

"Armstrong carried a threat but by that point we had Kenny McLean at left-back, Jack Hendry at right-back, John McGinn and Billy Gilmour off the park."

Scotland felt they should have had a penalty when Stuart Armstrong was bundled over in the box.

And Alan Shearer sympathises for the Tartan Army after their dreams of going through were left in tatters.

"From a Scotland point of view, it was through no lack of effort, but the reality is a lack of quality has cost them. Particularly in forward positions," he said.

"They were very rarely a threat. We were hoping rather than expecting.

"What I would say is the penalty decision was terrible. For me it was a penalty all day."
